Does Cambodia have solar power?

However, considering the country’s historical energy mix, the existing solar capacity appears positive. As of 2011, Cambodia had no solar power plants, and solar energy was not a part of the country’s energy mix. Cambodia’s current installed solar capacity is slightly over 400 MW, but the country is targeting 3.1 GW by 2040.
